A Teacher Who Knew Her Duty.
From the Springfield Republican.

FTUul luc pIlllSuolu nCpuullOnh'
One of the SISTERS of St. Joseph, at
the Elliott Street Convent School 1.-THE
Cathedral School of Spring6eld), was
dismissing her school at noon hour re-
Gently, when she saw near the en-
trance to the school-ya1d dark-feat-
ured man weighted down with bundles
of trashy papers. He alternately
glanced. up at the windows of the
building and at the fence behind him.
on which he had placed several more
bundles, and appeared as though he
was confident OF disposing of 100 of
his vile sheets to the innocent chill
dren. The Sister in an instant read
his purpose, and knowing full we'll the
danger that beset her flock, called
them back to their seats with Q. sharp
ring of her bell. After passing word to
the other teachers In the building she
pairs and continue in that way till
bade them to take one Of the papers
or speak to the vender. The children,
some of them not over s years of age,
faithfully obeyed the order. No mill
tary organization could have marched
in better order than those 600 chill
dren did. Thepaper man at first was
Thunderstorm. He was used to hav-
ing the children flock around him and
beg for papers, but 100 or more passed
him before he caught his breath. He
then held out the papers in his most
inviting way, but no one touched
them. Becoming angry, he sailed right
into the line ana tried to force the pa
pe1s into the pockets OF the children,
when one little shaver shouted "break
ranks" and away rushed the young
sters. The peddler gathered himself
and papers together and lett.

A Fortune in a Small Package.
From the New York Market Journal.

From the New York Market Journal.
Not O. dozen people in this city could
guess what was in little cigar-box
that William A. Atkins, of Province
town, Cape Cod, had under his arm
when he was here. 1t you saw it on
the sidewalk you would take particu-
lar pains to pass it by, but you would
pass by q small fortune. The yellow
and unpleasant looking and unpleas-
ant smelling stuff is ambergris of the
best quality, and is worth more
per ounce than gold. 1t is found
only in the intestines of de-
ceased whales, and is used
in the manufacture of fine colognes.
But one vessel this season has report
ed q find of this sort, and that is the
schooner Antarctic of Provincetown
A whale that she killed in SAM Bay,
West Indies, last April, yielded thirty
pounds of ambergris and it has just
arrived home. 1t is worth $4,000,
and is of more value than all the oil
the vessel had on board. Mr.. Atkins,
who is captain of the Antarctic and
is at the head of the whaling industry
of Cape Cod, had sample of it in his
cigar box. As no other ambergris is
likely to be brought home this year,
he has q corner on the market.

in old pink, olive and peacock-blue
bronzes, and lined with satin. The
three baskets are joined together by g.

peacock blue satin ribbon. Floren-
tine brorzes, which come in little
earthen bottles, are used for the va
rious colored bronzings, and are said
to be very permanent and washable.
These little groups of baskets are used
for holding the thimble, spools of silk
or thread, small SCISSORS, stilletto and
other implements used in fancy work,
or for holding buttons, spools, thin
bles, needles, etc., for ordinary work.
